Using the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) framework to test intervention delivery strategies: a study protocol.
Researchers describe a study protocol for a large randomized controlled trial using the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST), a novel framework developed to optimize interventions. They apply this framework to delivery of Family Navigation (FN), an evidence-based care management strategy designed to reduce disparities and improve access to behavioral health services, and test four components related to its implementation. In this paper, they describe how the MOST framework can be used to improve intervention delivery. These methods will be useful for future studies testing intervention delivery strategies and their impact on implementation.

Impacting pediatric primary care: opportunities and challenges for behavioral research in a shifting healthcare landscape.
This commentary discusses the role that behavioral analysts can have in partnership with pediatric medicine. There have been advances, but there has been limited impact for the daily practice of pediatrics. The authors discuss why behavioral pediatrics has failed to gain traction in primary care, describe possible opportunities for an expanded portfolio of research, and identify several examplars from the behavior analytic literature that has influenced pediatric primary care, and make further recommendations for producing influential data.

A prescription for unemployment? Recessions and the demand for mental health drugs.
The authors estimated the relationship between mental health drug prescriptions and the level of labor market activity in the USA. They found that the number of mental health drug prescriptions rises by about 10% when employment falls by 1% and when unemployment rises by 100 basis points, but only for patients in the Northeast region.

Health information technology and mental health services research: a path forward.
This article reports on the AHRQ- and NIMH-organized November 2010 workshop, “Health Information Technology and Mental Health: The Way Forward.” The primary workshop goal was to bring together experts in mental health services and interventions research, practitioners, consumers, and technologists to discuss emerging opportunities in uniting all aspects of health IT and mental health research. The workshop resulted in a four-paper series, envisioning a future mental health system in which health IT is fully integrated within mental health service systems, for patient, clinician, and system levels.
